SETUP

For best results, use this connection if:

Your cable company scrambles some channels, such as premium channels (which requires you to use a cable box), but does not scramble all channels.

You do not have a VCR. (If you have a VCR, see pages 22 and 24.)

With this connection you can:

Use the TV remote control to change channels coming through the cable box to the TV’s AUX input jack. (You must first program the remote control for your specific cable box; see “Programming the Remote Control” on page 43.)

Use the TV remote control to change channels coming directly into the TV’s VHF/UHF input. (The TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)

About Using Twin View with This Connection

With this connection, you can use all the Twin View features for unscrambled channels coming directly into the TV’s VHF/UHF input jack.

However, you can use only some of the Twin View features for channels coming through the cable box to the TV’s AUX input jack. For example, when you switch the TV’s input to AUX — to select the cable box input — the picture displays only in the left window. If you turn on Twin View, you can watch cable channels coming into the VHF/UHF jack in the right window, but you cannot SWAP the pictures between the left and right windows.

For details about Twin View, see page 46.
